Be Ready to Dispense Bijuva for Hot Flashes During Menopause

June 2019

Bijuva (bye-JOO-vah, estradiol/progesterone) will be a new combination hormone therapy (HT) for hot flashes during menopause.

Think of Bijuva as similar to taking oral Estrace plus Prometrium. One Bijuva capsule contains estradiol 1 mg and progesterone 100 mg.

Bijuva is being touted as the first FDA-approved combo of "bioidentical" estrogen and progesterone in one oral capsule.
